On My Phone.

Visual Meets Written

Watching video art titled China plate like language is recommended to set the foundation for this related work. As in this work and using the medium of a prototype to create an artwork to illustrate these observations in an interactive experience on mobiles, I demonstrate the contemporary application of Fus'ha: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) via going through a journey on your phone.

Language that sings lullabies … Fayrouz sings “Yalla Tenam” (Oh, baby, go to sleep) interpreted by alarm called “Scream”

How can iPhone punish you?
